What is The Blood of Dawnwalker?

The Blood of Dawnwalker is an open-world dark-fantasy action RPG from Rebel Wolves. It follows Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker while his home of Vale Sangora is caught between the Black Death and a vampire takeover.

Bandai Namco describes Coen as human by day and vampire by night. Exploration, alliances, quests, and the passage of time all matter because the game presents more possible objectives than Coen can complete before the deadline.

The cited official sources confirm skill customization; they do not establish a freeform face or gender creator. Character identity, cosmetic editing and skill builds are separate questions.
